Agape Singers - God's Love On Tour - Ireland 2007

The Agape Singers is the high school choir of University Presbyterian Church - Rochester Hills, Michigan. "Agape" is a Greek word used in the New Testament to signify the love that Jesus taught. Agape was chosen as its name as the word reflects our mission: The Agape Singers are loving, caring people, united with a purpose to glorify God through song, inform all God's people about God's love, spread the word of God through song, and inspire love, hope and passion for faith in God.

The travel pictures are great and the descriptions of what you are doing are keeping me coming back to the blog. Please keep the news flowing back to wet Rochester Hills.
Now this is something that I learned a long time ago on the Oregon coast. Do not walk to the very edge of the cliff to see what's below. It looks like Ireland has some magnificent cliffs.
How are you getting along with Irish food? What is for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Are there special Irish foods?
Your comments are really special and I look for them each day. Some time could you send a picture of Andrea with her flute?

Have a great time each and every day.; April 11, 2007 at 7:20 PM

The Agape Singers are planning a peacemaking choir mission tour to Ireland, April 8-16. Our stops will include the Corrymeela Centre at Ballycastle. Located on the northern Antrim coast, Corrymeela is "an ecumenical community of Christians committed to a shared future, peace and reconciliation; a community that welcomes people of all faiths and none, and from all backgrounds, traditions and cultures." During our time at Corrymeela, the Agape Singers will rehearse, participate in a day-long orientation and peacemaking workshop, sing our first concert in Ireland, as well as make day trips to Belfast and the Giants' Causeway. There will also be time for soccer, exploring the lovely town of Ballycastle, and enjoying the seaside air and scenery. For more information on Corrymeela, visit their website at www.corrymeela.org. Other stops along the way will be: Belfast, Dublin, Cookstown, the Book of Kells at Trinity University, among many other activities. This blog is in it's formative stages and we'll have much more information on it as the departure date draws closer - and all the time during the trip. Check back for updates (through cyberspace from our intrepid travelers) in text and pictures.
